Tenantbox - Multi-tenant file storage for developers

2 min read Original article ↗

Any language

Two calls. Any stack.

No SDK required. Copy the snippet for your language and you're done.

Everything in your control

All the features you need to ship faster.

Manage uploads, enforce quotas, and isolate tenants — without writing the boilerplate yourself.

How It Works

From API call to stored file in two steps.

No complex SDK. No server-side file handling. Just two HTTP calls and your file is safely stored, isolated, and tracked.

Request a presigned URL

Your server makes one authenticated POST to Tenantbox with the tenant ID, filename, and content type. You get back a presigned upload URL and the file path.

POST /api/storage/upload/

Upload directly to storage

Your client PUTs the file directly to the presigned URL. The file never touches your server — which means faster uploads and no bandwidth cost on your end.

PUT <presigned_url>

Done - tenant & file tracked

Tenantbox automatically creates the tenant on first upload, namespaces the file, enforces storage quotas, and starts tracking usage. Zero boilerplate on your side.

is_new_tenant: true ✓

Your server is never the bottleneck

Because uploads go client → storage directly, large files don't block your API, consume memory, or rack up egress charges. Tenantbox handles isolation, quotas, and tracking in the background.

"We were spending hours writing per-tenant S3 path logic, quota checks, and confirming uploads server-side. Tenantbox replaced all of that with two API calls. We shipped multi-tenant file uploads in an afternoon."

Why Tenantbox

Stop duct-taping storage solutions together.

Every alternative either requires you to build tenant isolation yourself, or buries the feature you need behind enterprise pricing.
